<civodul>paroneayea: yeah i think it's not set up at all, but that's weird <nand1>those videos are marked as preview <nand1>> Preview ready, waiting for human review <janneke>/gnu/store/32pfkaqs2rmd5inhgpcvfa36x71xhkzd-bootstrap-binaries-0/bin/tar: Option --mtime: Treating date '@0' as 1969-12-31 19:00:00 <roptat>I'm trying to package pootle, a community translation server <roptat>I've packaged it and it seems to run fine, and now I would like to create a service for it <roptat>the problem is that you're supposed to run "pootle initdb" once, and then "pootle migrate" on each update of pootle <roptat>and I don't know how to integrate that in an activation service <roptat>also there are two services, pootle and rq that must read the same config file ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<roelj>janneke: How come it went before 1970? Different timezone? <janneke>it was surprisingly funny for me to see that <janneke>yes, timezone on this downloaded qemu image that i'm running is EST ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<civodul>sounds like we'll have to do the human IPMI dance ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<ng0>how was fosdem? any videos already online? <ng0>I'm back from Graz. I think that's the furthest distance I'd go by car now on one day. <ng0>the mailinglists read as if there was some productive discussions spawned at fosdem :) <janneke>ng0: fosdem was amazing...the guile devroom was not as packed as last year, but most talks were very good <janneke>yes, the get-togethers were at least as fruitful <ng0>i didn't perceive the room last year as fully packed, but maybe I'm used too more crowded "it's full of people" <ng0>okay, some people were standing.. out of chairs is full :) <janneke>i think fosdem staff did not allow more people in than chairs <ng0>civodul: when does the relevant part of shepherd log beging, what is to be excluded as too verbose? <janneke>i think this year we had > 40 people, last year it was possibly > 55 <ng0>solution: get more chairs :D <ng0>okay, less than 50 is good <catonano_>by jove. I could make thhe binary installation <janneke>grrr builder for `/gnu/store/qy4p3xinr31h3mblmngfc4siny6gld62-guile-2.0.13.drv' failed with exit code 1 <ng0>civodul: I'll see what makes sense to filter out, otherwise the mail will not be very long. <janneke>well, the good thing is that I can finally shutdown and try my new atheros wifi card <ng0>hu.. my (operating-system) has (locale "en_US.UTF-8"), which worked always. Now I rebuild the sysem and after grafts I get "cannot open locale definition file `en_US': No such file or directory" <ng0>did something change about the way locales are written? ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<ng0>great, same on the other system <ng0>has kbd been updated? ***jonsger1 is now known as jonsger
<civodul>ng0: in shepherd.log, look for things that correspond to your system startup, and to starting 'networking' and 'ssh-daemon' <ng0>thanks. I already responded to the email :) <ng0>it's something related to dbus, but I have no idea why dbus doesn't start <ng0>using gentoo I constructed my own locale, I believe this is not possible with Guix? It was a combination of the utf8's of en_DK, en_US and DE <ng0> 8555a609df0410d08f9d1a9e41d22ca7b26cb9fe did something to the locales <ng0>at least that's the only explanation I have for my reconfigure failing at locales <ng0>not kbd.. but something. <Digit>anyone keeping an eye out for fosdem videos n will alert us all? :3 <ng0>I want to update sed to 4.4 ... but I see an hurd related patch, and I have no idea about hurd. <ng0>so I leave this as a note to anyone who wants to.. sed update is out. <janneke>Hmm...some weirdness when compiling (running tests of) Guile on hurd: Error while printing exception.\\nWhile reading expression:\\nERROR: In procedure fport_write: Error while printing exception.\\nWhile reading expression:\\nERROR: In procedure Error while printing exception.\\nWhile reading expression:\\nERROR: In procedure fport_write: Error while printing exception.\\nWhile reading expression:\\nERROR: In procedure Error while printing exc <ng0>grep update on the other hand looks doable. <slyfox>ng0: looks liek that patch went upstream as-is as 7bb8d35d0330161a5af5341471d0c183a067e8c2 <ng0>thanks! I will do sed and grep then <methalo>janneke: the bug was reported to guile <janneke>i'm "only" trying: ./pre-inst-env guix package -i hello <methalo>for the moment i disabled 'Check' phase! <janneke>building `hello' is my first target; still haven't reached it -- no idea beyond that <ng0>Okay. I'm doing the sed+grep updates, I just need to wait on rebuilding perl and everything. <catonano_>I see there are 2 lvm packages in guix. How come GuixSD doesn't support it ? <janneke>methalo: well, i want to look at fixing the cross-build api <paroneayea>I'm surprised we haven't run into more goofy things involving grafts and like, compressed libraries <ng0>catonano_: there's a bug/discussion on it <paroneayea>I'm guessing if something included paths to another library but it was compressed, grafts wouldn't work <paroneayea>but maybe thankfully it turns out that the packages we install don't do anything crazy like that :) <paroneayea>like I'm not sure you could graft a zipped python egg in python egg zipfile form <janneke>paroneayea: of course you're sure you could graft a zipped python egg <janneke>isn't your question: are we unzipping-grafting-zipping such things? <janneke>so...it seems that we are...or we have been terribly lucky <paroneayea>janneke: I guess the answer is, when we discover new funky compressed or etc file types which block grafting, we add new unpack-graft-and-repack methods <paroneayea>it doesn't look like grafts.scm includes any special logic for that <janneke>well, i used to use a lot of python too, before i switched to guile <paroneayea>janneke: I think the way we install python libs isn't in compressed eggs <janneke>paroneayea: ah, that would make sense <paroneayea>I was just thinking about the theoretical point at which we used something which did do such a thing <jmi2k>I'm packaging SIMH, following Arch Linux PKGBUILD. It copies LICENSE to /usr/share/licenses, should I do the same? <ng0>unless the package build-system does it <ng0>but we don't need to keep license files around after install <paroneayea><janneke> i think this year we had > 40 people, last year it was possibly > 55 <jmi2k>No, I'm writing the install phase manually. Thanks :) <paroneayea>janneke: we were also on the top floor this time ;) <paroneayea>but maybe we were last time too, I don't remember! <paroneayea>janneke: btw, would you have time to look at the patch I sent to the list re: guile-gdbm-ffi? I already explained the context to you in #guile, so <ng0>sed+grep done, I'm just waiting for the 2nd build to finish <ng0>ACTION afk for today <aki237>Guys I'm new here. I want to contribute to Guix <catonano_>aki237: the manual has a section about how to contribute <aki237>not yet... I'm on the install screen <civodul>methalo: Guile commit ea3cef045a413aa1001cf13e1ea2bc150626c3ce was supposed to address the statprof.test issue <ng0>okay I'm still not done for today. I run into something weird now. just by adding a new phase to rxvt-unicode (fixing a bug I opened long time ago) I get "unbound variable: synopsis" <ng0>I checked all the parens <ng0>maybe it's something as basic as adding (guix base) or something. <ng0>guile can have the best error messages. so helpful. <jmi2k>ng0: paste it, maybe we can spot the error <ng0>or however you prefer to view it <jmi2k>ng0: I was referring to the the package <aki237>dhcpcd is not available for install disk right? <catonano_>aki237: there's a passage in thhe manual explicitly instruucting how to call it <efraim>ng0: first guess is a parenthesis error <ng0>but I'll paste the patch now :) <ng0>I haven't really fixed my original .desktop creation, so it's possible there's a mistake in there which throws the build off <ng0>I'll check this now.. <ng0>yeah please don't look at the patch. i need to change things <ng0>afk from the channel again <jmi2k>After some thinking, I'll send the patch for xcursor-vanilla-dmz. As the license is not in the list, what can I put instead? It's CC-BY-NC-SA <efraim>I'm pretty sure the NC part makes it nonfree <jmi2k>There is some debate (it's nonfree, but it's not software), but Parabola (free distro) provides it. Also, I want to send the patch and let people in the mailing list discuss if it's a good idea to include it. <ng0>has someone recently tried to reconfigure their system? <efraim>is it safe to delete build-aux/ar-lib? <janneke>paroneayea: finally got round to look at gdbm
